You can read 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: my legal columns and other articles on my website de 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett dot com, and listen to my podcast, The Brief. 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here today. This is for viewers 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: who are regular the Sean Hannity Show. It's familiar truth 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: for me. I've been a frequent guest on this program 9 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: discussing criminal cases and legal issues, the various punitive investigations 10 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: launched against Donald Trump. Over the last six years. I've 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: been an anchor in a legal analyst for the Fox 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: News Channel. For the last twenty years. I wrote two 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: books that were New York Times bestsellers, The Russia Hoax 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: and the sequel called witch Hunt, The Story of the 15 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: Greatest mass Delusion in American political History. And in both books, 16 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: I sought to expose the abuse of power by government 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: that has become so commonplace, so egregious, In particular unscrupulous 18 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: officials at the Department of Justice and the FBI. They 19 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: have weaponized their vast authority and become a law under themselves. 20 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: And it's still going on. They seem to think they 21 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: can do anything they want. They arm themselves with immense 22 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: power and unlimited resources. If they don't like you or 23 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: your political views, they come after you with a vengeance. 24 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: They don't care about rights and liberties, they don't care 25 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: about fidelity to the law. They certainly don't care about honesty. No, 26 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: their goal is to punish their political enemies, whether it's 27 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: parents who complain at school board meetings about critical race 28 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: theory or pandemic mandates, or the targeting of Catholics as 29 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: potential terrorists, or persecuting pro life activists. And of course 30 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: the flip side is that Democrats and liberals they all 31 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: get a free pass. They get protection. Hillary Clinton's criminal 32 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: email scandal, the Biden family influence pedaling schemes, to name 33 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: just a couple. So this is a dual system of justice, 34 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: this unequal justice, and frankly, it is symptomatic of a 35 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: sickness and a rot and a corruption within our government. 36 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: And sadly it's been going on for a long time. 37 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: And in fact, I've written a new book about government abuse. 38 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: It's called The Trial of the Century. It's available now 39 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: for pre order online. Again. It's called The Trial of 40 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: the Century. I hope you'll order it now. Just go 41 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: to Amazon dot com, Barnesennoble dot com, or other online sites. 42 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: Type in the name of the book, the Trial of 43 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: the Century, or we're just my name Greg Jared, and 44 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: I hope you'll get the book and read it, because 45 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: this is an important one. Publishers Weekly called it a 46 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: colorful and dramatic account of one of the most consequential 47 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: free speech debates in American history, and they're right about that. 48 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: My book tells the story of how the greatest trial 49 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: lawyer who ever lived, Clarence Darrow, had the courage to 50 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: stand up to the government when it was unpopular to 51 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: do so, when the government passed a law making it 52 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: a crime to teach science, in particular the science of evolution, 53 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: and Darrow's intrepid defense of free speech, academic freedom, and 54 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: the power of ideas that helped form the legal bedrock 55 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: on which our civil liberties depended today, and it foreshadowed 56 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: our culture wars, our struggles over partisan censorship, these disinformation campaigns, 57 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: classroom indoctrination of students where diversity of opinion and opposing 58 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: views are banned. If you don't conform to a particular orthodoxy, 59 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: you're punished, you're canceled, you're erasd It's been going on 60 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: for a long time, as I say, and in fact, 61 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: nearly a hundred years ago in the trial of the century. 62 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: So let's step back to when it happened. In nineteen twenties, 63 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: under pressure from fundamentalists, leaders across the nation, individual state 64 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: began to ban books. Any book that mentioned the theory 65 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: of evolution was removed from shelves in public schools. Why 66 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: because they believed, incorrectly that Darwin's established theory of evolution 67 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: conflicted with a story of man's creation in the Bible. 68 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: It didn't. But it didn't matter that evolution was accepted 69 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: by scholars and scientists and a great many theologians across 70 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: the world. Now, the religious fervor at the time was 71 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: so strong that states began to cave in. In Tennessee, 72 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: they made it a crime for an educator to teach 73 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: evolution in a classroom, even though the state approved textbook 74 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: that students were required to read by law had a 75 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: chapter on evolution. So that's insane, right, Well, a twenty 76 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: five year old school teacher by the name of John Scopes, 77 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: an affable young man all the students liked him, was arrested, handcuffed, 78 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: and carted off to jail for violating the new law. Well, 79 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: the great Clarence Darrow in Chicago read about it. He 80 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: was incensed, he was angry. He volunteered to defend Scopes 81 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: for free, spending his own money to handle the case. 82 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,679 Speaker 1: And I should acknowledge that Darrow had an additional motive 83 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: because leading the prosecution team was Darrow's nemesis, William Jennings Bryant, 84 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: the nation's leading fundamentalist leader who helped the laws get passed, 85 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: and like Darrell, Brian was famous. He was a mesmerizing orator, 86 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: a three time presidential candidate. He had served Secretary of 87 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: State for Woodrow Wilson. So the trial that followed became 88 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: the biggest legal blockbuster of a generation, this titanic clash 89 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: between two American icons. It was known far and wide 90 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: as the Scope's Monkey Trial, an invidious take on evolution, 91 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: but it was also dubbed the trial of the century, 92 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: and in my judgment, it truly was. Journalists the world 93 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: over converged on the small town of Dayton, Tennessee. Darrow 94 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: and scopes, fighting for the indispensable proposition that no one 95 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: should be told how to think. And in the pre 96 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: television age, this was the first trial to be broadcast 97 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: live on radio to a riveted nationwide audience. Newsreel cameras 98 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: were set up inside the courtroom. They captured all of 99 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: the events and flew the film everyday to Chicago for 100 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: distribution in movie theaters. Banner headlines appeared in all the 101 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: major newspapers across America recounting what happened each day as 102 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: the trial of the century unfolded. Now the cards were 103 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: stacked against Clarence Darrell, so was the judge, who refused 104 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: to let him call a dozen renowned experts to the 105 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: witness stand. They were prepared to explain to the jury 106 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: that evolution and creationism were harmonious, they're not in conflict. 107 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: But having been shut down by the bias, Judge Clarence 108 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: Darrell was desperate, so he did something quite remarkable. He 109 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: called William Jennings Bryan, the prosecutor, to the witness stand 110 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: as an expert on the Bible, which he was. Now, 111 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: of course, the other prosecutors and the judge objected, you 112 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: can do that, but Darrell was smart. He was counting 113 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: on William Jennings Bryan's ego that he just couldn't resist 114 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: taking center stage, and that is precisely what happened. Brian 115 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: demanded that he testify as an expert on the Bible 116 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: and creationism, and methodically and brilliantly, Clarence Darrow picked apart 117 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: Brian and his insistence that everything in the Bible must 118 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: be accepted as literal. With that, Brian fell apart. He 119 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: was utterly destroyed. The New York Times described Darrow's withering 120 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: cross examination as the most amazing court scene in Anglo 121 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: Saxon history. I recounted in the book, but there's more. 122 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: Devastated and heartbroken. Brian died days later, still there in Dayton, Tennessee, 123 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: his reputation in tatters. So what was the outcome of 124 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: the trial anyway? How did the jury decide this seminal case. Well, 125 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: for that, I hope you'll read the book, The Trial 126 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: of the Century Again.

And 172 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: How I came to the right This particular book really 173 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: dates back to the early nineteen seventies. I was barely 174 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: a teenager when one day I don't know why, and 175 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: I've never been able to figure it out. Maybe I 176 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: was bored, maybe it was raining. I plucked a book 177 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: off my father's shelf, and I sat down to read 178 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: it cover to cover, and then I read it again. 179 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: It was a biography of America's greatest trial lawyer, Clarence Darryl. 180 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: I was consumed by Darrow's courtroom exploits, the fearless, heroic 181 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: figure who despaired of the dangers of conformity, social control. 182 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: But most of all, he hated government intrusion and abusive power. 183 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: He upheld the right to individualism and self determination, never 184 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: backing down from a legal brawl. The lost and the damned, 185 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: those were his treasured clients. He gave them compassion and hope. 186 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: He detested the unchecked authority unlimited resources of government prosecutors. 187 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: In Daryl, the needy, despised and oppressed found a champion. 188 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: Without him, they scarcely stood a chance. I didn't know 189 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: it at the time, but that book set a course 190 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. I decided one day 191 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: to try to become a lawyer. Darrell's most famous courtroom 192 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: trial with the Scope's Monkey Trial. It became known as 193 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: the Trial of the Century, the name of my book. 194 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, I teamed up with Don Jagery. 195 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: He and I traveled to Dayton, Tennessee, to the very 196 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: courthouse where that trial was held, and the building still stands, 197 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: the second floor courtroom unchanged from nineteen twenty five. We 198 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: met with town leaders, including the archivist, who gave us 199 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: access to the original trial transcript as well as the judges, 200 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: reporters notes in Longhand and that formed the basis of 201 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: our book. I study the transcript and analyze the trial. 202 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: Don dug deep into the history of the town and 203 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: the many colorful characters who participated in the Trial of 204 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: the Century, and what we found was quite amazing. The 205 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: story of this courageous battle to uphold a precious right 206 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: in America, the right to think for yourself, based on 207 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: the principles of free speech and intellectual liberty. Well today, 208 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: those same principles are under siege by our pervasive cancel culture, 209 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: conformed the approved ideology and liberal orthodoxy or else. In 210 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: just a few minutes, Don Jeger will be joining me 211 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: to talk about this legendary case and our book, The 212 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: Trial of the Century.

But I want to introduce 231 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: now is my guest, my co author of Trial of 232 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: the Century, Don Yeger. He is a New York Times 233 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: bestselling author, longtime associate editor at Sports Illustrated, and a 234 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: very popular, i must say, public speaker. You know, Don, 235 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: thanks for being here. It's really great talking to you 236 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: about that project, which we have spent so much time 237 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: on over the last two years together, and it's really 238 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: it's been quite a journey for me, and I think 239 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: it has been for you, digging deep into the trial 240 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: or the century that actually began. When you and I 241 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: traveled to Dayton, Tennessee. The courthouse at the time was 242 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: closed for renovations. You wrangled a key through the archivists 243 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: there who let us inside. So take it from there done, 244 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, Greg, it was. It was special because, as 245 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: you said, people were not making their way through. It's 246 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: generally a place Dayton, Tennessee quite actively advertises itself as 247 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: a as a as a tourist stop because of the 248 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: history and this trial, and so normally it comes back 249 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: where we are where we would have been in a 250 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: courthouse there where there would have been a lot of 251 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: a lot of folks, and instead we got the chance 252 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: to sit and just soak it in. We got to 253 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: sit there and experience what it would have been like 254 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: in the heat of that summer of nineteen twenty five 255 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: to imagined that trial taking place. You know, I remember 256 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: being struck with the archivists had been kind known in 257 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: advance that we were going to get in there, and 258 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: he laid out on the table in the courtroom in 259 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: this huge book leather bound the handwritten longhand notes of 260 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: the judges reporters notes which told the story of the 261 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: legal obstacles that the great Clarence Garrow was trying to 262 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: overcome and convincing the judge to allow him to call 263 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: all these scientific experts and theologians to the stand to 264 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: explain evolution, and that, together with a complete original copy 265 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: of the trial transcript, really formed the basis for our book. 266 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: Would you agree, without question? I think one of the 267 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: things it's always unique about these opportunities to take on 268 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: history right and to try to to to tell it 269 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: in a in a new create in some ways creative 270 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: and energized way, is to look at something that's one 271 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: hundred years old and find find something new to talk about. 272 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: I think that was what most people who write about 273 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: that trialer have in the past. Um didn't sit and 274 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: read it word for word as you did, I mean 275 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: you read the entire transcript. That ability to kind of 276 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: get in and imagine as we set there in that courtroom, Um, 277 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: what what Judge Rawlston was doing as he was making 278 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: it so so abundantly clear that he had an opinion 279 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: of how this trial should turn out. And uh and 280 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: and in many ways he was making it nearly impossible 281 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: for Darrow to be able to pull off a victory 282 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: in some way, So in Darrow's defense of John Scopes, 283 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: the teacher who by some accounts might not really have 284 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: even actually taught in his class the work that he 285 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: was being tried on, And so there was so many 286 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: elements to it. In your ability to kind of pour 287 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: into the word for word transcript helped us to find 288 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: little nuances, places where where the difference between the way 289 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: certain things were said as you saw it through your 290 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: legal eye, allowed us to tell the story, I think 291 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: a little more uniquely than it had ever been quite 292 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: told before. What struck me from our investigation, our discussions 293 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: with people in Dayton, is that some of the students 294 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: there have never heard of the trial that made their 295 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: town famous or infamous, depending upon your point of view. 296 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: But I think that's true for so many Americans, done 297 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: especially younger people. They have never heard of the Scopes 298 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: monkey trial. I mean, I've been working on this for 299 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: two years as you have, and I've talked to so 300 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: many people. And the Scopes Monkey trial. What's that? Evolution 301 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: versus creationism? What's that? I mean? And this is such 302 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: an important case in American history, forming the bedrock principles 303 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: upon which our civil liberties depend today, which made it 304 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: more imperative. I think that you and I needed to 305 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: tell the story of the Trial of the Century, the 306 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: title of our book. But that lack of knowledge, that 307 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: lack of awareness, really shocked me. How about you. You 308 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: know it's funny, Greg, you and I had the opportunity. 309 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: I sent you a text the other day. I was 310 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Georgia, and I just was in a Chick 311 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: fil A for doing little work and sitting there having 312 00:22:54,359 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: lunch when in preceded the women's softball team from Brian College, 313 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: which is there in Dayton, Tennessee, which is named after 314 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: William Jennings Bryan, right, So it was it was because 315 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: of his efforts that the that the community decided they 316 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: needed a school UH in which it would be named 317 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: for this man who they thought was so important as 318 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: the defender of creationism and in that h So there 319 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: I am. I'm sitting there in walk all these young women, 320 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: and I decided to walk over and talk to them, 321 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: talk to their coach. I mentioned that we were writing 322 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: this book and that it was about ready to come out, 323 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: and I was met with a with a table full 324 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: of blank stairs. Several of them did not know exactly 325 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: what I was talking about. Those who did did not 326 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: know that the hundredth anniversary of the trial is literally 327 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: just a year and a half away. And so that 328 00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: idea that you know that even right there in the 329 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: the seat of all of this, we found that people 330 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: didn't really understand its importance. And the idea to me 331 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: that someone like you that's covered so much, so many 332 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: great and important trials, even in your own career, would 333 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: have called this the trial of the century I really 334 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: really stood out to me from the very beginning of 335 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: this project. You know, the ACLU back in nineteen twenty five. 336 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: They wanted to challenge this new law correctly, so that 337 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: made it a crime to teach evolution in public schools 338 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: because it allegedly and I underscore that that word undermine 339 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: the Bible and religious teaching, especially the Book of Genesis, 340 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: the story of man's divine creation. But Clarence Darrow's strategy, 341 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: which I thought was so smart, was to prove that 342 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: creationism and evolution are not in conflict, they are indeed harmonious. 343 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: And he assembled the stellar team of the nation's a 344 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: scientists and respected theologians prepared to tell it to the jury. 345 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: But prosecutors would have none of it. And the judge, 346 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: John Ralston, who was so horribly biased against the defense, 347 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: refused to let the jury hear that testimony. So Darrow, 348 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: you know, down and out but not defeated, comes up 349 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: with this ingenious plan to call William Jennings Bryan to 350 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: the witness stand, the prosecutor in the case, knowing that 351 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: Brian's ego was so huge he couldn't possibly resist the spotlight. 352 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: And don you know, Brian fell right into the trap. 353 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: It was a clever trap, wasn't it. It was. I 354 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: mean again, I'm not I am not the legal scholar, 355 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: you are, for sure, But I and everything I have 356 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: ever read about trials, I've never heard of the defense 357 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: the lawyer being able to actually convince the prosecutor that 358 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: the prosecutor deserved to take a seat in the witness 359 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: box right and to sit there and actually answered questions 360 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: about about whether everything in the Bible was in fact true. 361 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: And then he he challenged him with individual biblical stories, 362 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: and he as he as you said, uh, William Jennings 363 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: Bryan amazing reputation, but amazing ego he had, He had 364 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: experienced so much in his career. He was an icon, 365 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: uh to to that side of the political spectrum. And 366 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: for him to fall into the trap as he did, 367 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: for him to he was in some ways he was 368 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: laughed out of that out of that box by by 369 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: some people who realized how he had let his ego 370 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: get in the way. And in many ways things never 371 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: recovered for him reputationally um as as some might know. 372 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,959 Speaker 1: It wasn't but just a few days later there in 373 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:13,479 Speaker 1: Tennessee that Brian died. So this was literally his last 374 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: major act, and it was a moment in which he, 375 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: by most accounts embarrassed himself as I remember writing the 376 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: book that Brian mistakenly ascribed his righteousness to virtue and 377 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 1: that can be fatal, and you know, for him, literally fatal. 378 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: He was utterly destroyed by a withering cross examination by 379 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: Clarence Darrow, and you know, the crowd that was so 380 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: for him turned against him and they began laughing at him, 381 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: and it unnerved him. He couldn't believe that his people 382 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: were laughing at him, and he was wondering, are they 383 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: really laughing at me? Did Daryl make a fool of myself? 384 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: Of me? Or did I make a fool of myself? 385 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: And of course five days later he laid down for 386 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: a nap and died. But you know that famous cross examination, 387 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: which the New York Times said was the greatest courtroom 388 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: confrontation in Anglo Saxon history. Uh you know he it 389 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: was held on an outdoor platform. Yeah, that's what I 390 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: love about it. It It was the greatest you know, courtroom 391 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: back and back and forth that it ever occurred. But 392 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: it actually didn't occur in the courtroom. The judge so 393 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: knew that that this really required the attention of as 394 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: many people as possible. He knew it was going to 395 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: be that enormous of an opportunity for people to feel 396 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: part of the trial that he they they moved it 397 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: to an outside stage adjacent to the court house, a 398 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: stage that is still kept intact today, in part because 399 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: it's it's part of history, but secondly because they continue 400 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: now today. They hold a they have a Scopes Monkey 401 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: Trial event every summer in which they replay parts of 402 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: the trial, and they use that stage to do so. 403 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: So fascinating to me that they that had happened, not 404 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: even in the courtroom, and with thousands of spectators watching 405 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: Darryl evisceerate the great William Jennings Bryant. And you can 406 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: not only read about this trial if you go online 407 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: and pre order Trial of the Century by Greg Jarrett 408 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: and Don Yaeger, but you can also see the photographs. 409 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: I dug these out of the archives in Tennessee.

I gained permission I 411 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: wear these white cotton gloves to handle these old, fragile pictures, 412 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: and I used a high resolution scanner to copy and 413 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: download the incredible photographs. And they show, for example, the 414 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: circus like atmosphere that enveloped the Trial of the Century, 415 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: complete with a trained chimpanzee named Joe Mindy parading around 416 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: town banging out notes on a miniature piano, drinking sodas 417 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: at the local drug store. I mean, it really was 418 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: a circus. And you know, I mean that's that's just 419 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: part of the story.
